Development agenda in flux as world orders shifts

Author

Abstract

This paper describes how a shifting world order-propelled by a relocation of the centre of economic gravity to the East-legacy thinking and geopolitics impinge on the development agenda and discourse at global and regional levels. Paying special attention to trade and industrialization aspects of development, and providing examples and cases, including those from South Asia, it flags the challenges that relatively small and weak economies face in pursuing their development aspirations in geopolitically charged times. Also woven into the analysis are the constraints and dilemmas facing the social science research community in such countries.
